TI(E NEWSPAPER AS A COMMUN ITY FORCE t Rev.. W. M. Vines, IX IX, in his ser mon at the First Baptist church Sun day evening developed the Idea of the pulpit, the public school, the press and the pew, in the order given as the greatest forces for righteousness which Is to say Tightness In the com . inanity. ' The inclusion of the public press as amongst the . foremost good forces would be correct, in the average com munity. , The press is no more nor lees than a common intelligence, n community gossip forced by law and conditions, as a usual thing, to com ply with certain, rather rigid stand ards, chief ' of which is moderation, thus largely eliminating the poison and evil of gossip. ' Speaking more especially with ref erence to the daily news press, our Idea of its essential business is that of a chronicle of the significant events of the daily life of the community anil of the world. Its highest Ideal should be In the approximation of accuracy. This Is a very difficult task, since no tv o observers ever see the same oc , currence Just alike. It is the despair ef every honest journalist that he 'can not present what he knows to be thi absolute and inerrant truth. In ad dition to recording the facts, there de volves upon the actual makers of the newspaper two other tasks: classifica tion or comparison, and comment at to significance. The latter i is the preaching part of Journalism, and is a task which must always be approach ed with caution. The press'-is reflective of the com munity. The editor or editorial writer must take counsel not always as de- liberate and careful as might be de sired of those in his community who know .most about the . matter under discission. The , Oaxette-News is very dependent upon a considerable number of Ashevllle's foremost ctti sens for counsel In matters touching the public welfare. Every person who grants the reporters an interview of ' ny nature during the course of the day has a part in the making of the newspaper. Something of his angle of view, something of his personality, goes out to the thousands of readers, enters in the most intimate way Into their minds and their Uvea There Is one task, dreaded by the average man, evaded often when it ought to be done, that Is essential to the shaping of the newspaper to its community, ana that is writing a let ter to the editor about things in the community Jhat are to be condemned, or commended more important the latter. When a man does write to the editor. It is often under the Impulse of an Indignation, which he at leant feels to- be righteous, and which often leads him Into Intemperance of utter ance for which the editor does not feel warranted In spa King responsi bility. . It has long been a notion of ours that the newspaper should have mora to say about the good that men do, the fine and brave, noble things, evi dences of talent or fruits of diligent toll than about the bad things, the abnormalities, the pitiful and bizarre exhibitions of our Imperfect humanity, evidences of weakness, of folly. When you note something commendable In your neighbor,, of a nature to benefit the publio or to Inspire other workers, you ought to sit down and write to the. editor about it; it is no less your duty than to point out that something It being don that Is prejudlcal to the l ul.llc welfare or offensive to publU -Ticy. ' . 'j he dally newspaper Is a very bu rn, erring thing, of many mechanic 1 dlffleultle- and other difficulties ti'lar to Its hurried assembling and kaleidoscopic nature of the dally ) of llft; but it is a community , a community ref ex; ' and uau , w e helleve, as LY. Vines says, a f f i r good; that is to say, for the nation of truth and the dlscov ' i iTor. ,- xfcular newspaper publishes U i.l, .nit the bad side of hus .! Pfct enough about the ifood '.?; the news is a chronicle k' v, 'aknp.ss, rather than his . I yet we all know that r tiiutmn nature. Any . i ! M f'-'r'u tlvft rn "s- feel that they must make the most of these things, if they would hold the public Interest, i In describing such things the newspaper is undoubtedly in a legitimate field, and for all any body knows, if It describes them faith fully it may be serving the cause of truth in a high and Important way. Where . many have erred is in not describing faithfully, in not trying to do so; in magnifying folly and the results of strange impulses of human ity. In painting the bad and unnatural as worse and more unnatural than it is. i;- , - ' -. " THE FEDERATED WOMEN'S . ' CLUBS. . Ashevllle, . the Convention City of the South, is today honored by the presence of this representatives of the women's clubs of the State. Much has been said in differentiation of a convention body of women from n convention body of men, but for all Intents and purposes of assembling and transacting business it seems to us there can be very little essential difference. Every woman Is the de scendant of a long line of average men. They associate and converse with men from childhood. Their de liberations follow the same modes of proceed ure as those of men, and their conclusions, if correct, are reached in the way that men reach correct con clusionsthe only way there is. Of course there do exist some pecu liarities of feminine mental process, as there do of masculine mental pro cess. These things are a part of the barrier of mystery which Nature has seen fit to raise. But there are distinctions applying to this gathering of club women which, irrespective of considerations of gallantry, should cause the men to regard their visit as an especial honor. Their unit organizations were formed for the highest purposes for mental improvement, for civic better ment, for better living and higher thinking. Our business and profes sional men form .organizations to pro mote the general welfare of their pro fessions, and to exchange ideas as to how to make business more profitable; we have the fraternal societies, band ed for social diversion, mutual help. insurance against accident, sickness and death; some are altruistic, some largely selfish, It is seldom that del egates of any convention body repre sent persons banded together for such high and pure purposes as furnish the motives for the organization of these women's clubs, and for this reason, amongst the many worthy and hon orable bodies that the city of Ashe vllle has been privileged to entertain, the Federation of Women's Clubs is properly accorded a distinctive place, as peculiarly select Much- good and pleasure may they find la their de liberations; we doubt not they will accomplish much for the welfare and glory of the State. THE HOBBLE SKIRT BANISHED. Queen Mary has put the ban on the hobble skirt and this is considered Its funeral. The queen's objection to It seems to be based on an old-fashioned reason viz., that It Is not decent She dislikes the hobble skirt and has let it be known that she deems the pancha, or harem skirt an Impossible garment Ladies eligible to attend the British court endorse her ruling, saying that it is almost impossible to courtesy correctly In a hobble skirt (Let no pun be permitted here). The queen, who Is a sensible wo man, will, it Is believed, soon follow this decision with an Intimation that the immense hats ant hug pyramids of store hair worn by women also are objectionable, as the queen is known to regard with extreme disfavor any thing outre In the attire of court ladle "A hint also ha been con veyed to peeresses," It Is said, "that the practice of having sketches of their court and coronation gowns published in the newspapers also is distasteful to the queen. So the Illus trated journals probably will have to be content with portraits of the robes and accessories worn by mannequins." As for the hobble, perhaps without Queen Mary's most commendable rul ing against it Its vogue would per haps have' been brief. For the hob ble, on the average woman, is ugly. ' Cleveland, O., is to have summer schools for children who failed to pass In the regular classes. School ail the year around is the Ideal w are rapidly approaching. The larger college have It already, making possible the three year course. Why should American cities follow the precedent set by rural district schools that "let -out In hayin' time" to permit scholars and teachers alike to work In the . fields? New 7ork World. It would b a most excellent prece dent for them to follow, if they would follow it literally. Shopkeeper and landlords In Wash ington are doubtless loyal democrats or republicans and desplsers of the pomp and trumpery of monarchy; but thought of the $160,000,000 In loose chang that will be attracted to Lon don because of the coronation are not the most pleasant thought In tho world. The Democrat, w-t'ar, have not taken with any noticeable degree of enthusiasm to th subsection of re ducing the mileage allowance from ten to flv cents; probably because there is such a thing as too much of a good thing, even retrenchment and reform.

TENNESSEE-NORTH Land Involved in Boundary Question Between 6000 and 8000 Acres The Contentions. The hearing before Commissioner Garland A. Thomason in the matter of the boundary dispute between North Carolina and Tennessee, which began here yesterday, was concluded this afternoon, three, witnesses being examined. E. B.

Carolina contending that the line runs up Slick Rock creek for about Ave mile and .then to the Fodderstack mountain and thence to the main ridge of the Unaka mountains. Tennessee claims that the line leaves the creek and runs to the Hangover mountain and thence to the main ridge. The orig inal survey called for the "main ridge" and the dispute is as to which is th main ridge.
